Hello everybody A list member apparently tried to forward a message they received to the group yesterday. For your reference, the reason it bounced was because your message was too large for the list. I think the mail server software also didn’t like the links at the bottom of the message.
As a general note, I would ask people again to please forward links to articles where possible, rather than just copying the full article to the group. It became a problem a while back when a member started forwarding huge articles to the group. That’s why it became necessary for me to cap the size of messages. For your reference, all, messages larger than 40K won’t make it to the list. That may sound like more than your post. However, with all the header information exchanged between you and the list, it soon mounts up. The reason this limit is in place, as I said, is to prevent over large posts. Some members are on capped throughput with their provider and it’s not really fair to enforce the download of huge messages which don’t interest them. I will forward the text of your post in a moment, as it’s a very interesting one. But again, please all try to link to articles where possible. Another reason for this is copyright. Sometimes people post their articles on copyrighted sites. We could end up in hot water if somebody were to insist on their copyrights. Finally, just another gentle request. If you have a query regarding list traffic, could you please send to [email protected], for the moment, as that’s the most appropriate way for me to deal with things more quickly. Cooperation would be appreciated. ======================================== My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: <[email protected]> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist..
